2D games using Silverlight - Collision detection implementation
This article shows how to implement collision detection in a Microsoft Silverlight game application. This is the second article in a series which will show how to create a complete working game (a clone of the classic Arkanoid game).
The first article in this series 2D games using Silverlight - implementing the game loop introduced the possibility of writing 2D games using Silverlight, an approach that has benefits when targeting all of the platforms: Windows Phone 7, Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 and Internet browsers. The original article covered the creation of the game skeleton for a simple Arkanoid clone called JailBreaker, and included the games loop and the game controllable loop.
This article extends the game skeleton by adding collision detection.
Collision detection implementation strategy
There are numerous strategies and algorithms for collision detection: broad detection phase, narrow detection phase, how to use dot production to estimate distance, etc. However it does not make sense to re-invent the wheel: for more complicated games there are open source physics engines, and for simple games like this there are often platform APIs that can be used to help with collision detection. For this example we use the collision detection functionality built into the platform, along with a good understanding of the simple collision detection required for this game.
Considering the game environment:
- There are few components with complex non-predictable movement - essentially just the club and ball. All other elements either stand still or fall in predictable manner - they do not collide. As a result we only need to consider a single object, the ball, for determining whether a collision has occurred.
- We only need to consider collisions in three directions along the active object movement: forward, forward diagonal up, forward diagonal down. This limitation allows us to minimize number of tests required
Collision detection in the platform:
- There is a helper class VisualTreeHelper in the platform that allows hit test on the component tree (all visible components in Silverlight application form a component tree hierarchy)
- There is a support for object animation based on StoryBoard that is suitable for steady moving objects
- the game movement is based on screen refresh rate, which is not constant across devices. To make object speed the same on different devices/conditions we need to measure the refresh rate before calculation the object next position
- During object movement, the object perception will be conducted on the next the object position because we are going to make the calculations in a hook to the screen refresh loop.
New module in the project PhysicalBody
The new class PhysicalBody is attached to a UI element statically created in XAML. It handles the element:
- position update
- object collision assessment
- checking the class container extends to keep the element position inside the container
Also it accepts gameOver and hitScores() method delegates from the class container
The position update is a simple increment of the current position based on the current body speed. Note that the body speed defines the body direction according to the coordinate system: positive value is from left to right by X axis, and from top to bottom in Y axis and negative value is in the opposite direction.
Object collision assessment
This is the crucial part of the article. The collision detection is implemented in one function and follows the strategy we have declared above in the preceding sections.
Let us examine the code:
private void assessCollision()
// get bounding box and offset the box in movement direction on one step
Canvas canvas = (Canvas)body.Parent;
// (1) for converting screen-to-control coordinates
var transform = canvas.TransformToVisual(Application.Current.RootVisual); // for converting screen-to-control coordinates
var origin = transform.Transform(new Point(Canvas.GetLeft(body) + velocityX, Canvas.GetTop(body) + velocityY));
var boundingBox = new Rect(origin, new Size(body.ActualWidth, body.ActualHeight));
// (2) check whether there are element exist on the body's way
// in three directions : forward, forward-diagonal-up and forward-diagonal-down
// (3) use VisualTreeHelper helper class to walk through elements hierarchy tree
// (4) filter out all objects except Shapes
if (isCollided(VisualTreeHelper.FindElementsInHostCoordinates(new Point(boundingBox.Right, boundingBox.Bottom), (Canvas)body.Parent)) ||
isCollided(VisualTreeHelper.FindElementsInHostCoordinates(new Point(boundingBox.Right, boundingBox.Y), (Canvas)body.Parent)) ||
isCollided(VisualTreeHelper.FindElementsInHostCoordinates(new Point(boundingBox.X, boundingBox.Bottom), (Canvas)body.Parent)))
for more details please check the source code
Given approach shows how easy to implement collision detection in Silverlight game project if use only the platform means. Working example is available in source code that can be build and run on Windows Phone 7.X device. Also since Windows platform does not allow side-loading installation binaries, just for reference the same code has been deployed to a web site and can run embedded into a browser.


text: This paper presents an optimal control method for the prediction of parallel centrifugal variable frequency pump performance in any conditions to maximize the total efficiency of the pump system, thereby minimizing energy consumption. First, a theoretical model of parallel water pumping set was established, after which the shaft power model was setup specifically for the off-rating conditions. By combining the typical polynomial fitting method of the efficiency and the shaft power model we brought up, a new optimized control method was proposed. Using this method, the complex optimization task was solved with the optimal control of the operating number selection and speed ratios for parallel variable speed pumps based on the decision-making. The proposed method was subsequently applied to the pumping set of the water-cooling system in High Magnetic Field Facility. The practical testing results of the proposed method showed its superiority over both the primitive and the previous optimal methods, by considerably lowering the power consumption and accurately calculating the performance parameters in any conditions. The method has universality and simplicity for online implementation, which provides a reference for the control methods of parallel centrifugal pumps in variable flow systems with a differential pressure control strategy.

Definition of haute bourgeoisie in English:
noun(the haute bourgeoisie) [treated as singular or plural]
The upper middle class.
- Today, Occultists are routinely disparaged by the superior classes, the haute bourgeoisie, to which I belong, and which also includes most of the widely read art critics and influential art historians.
- These forms of unearned income linked to exploitation led to the emergence of the haute bourgeoisie as a new ruling class, which molded the state and church into instruments of domination over the petit bourgeoisie and the working class.
- Not all Dresden was bombed, of course; on the banks of the Elbe there are still the magnificent villas of the haute bourgeoisie.
French, literally 'high bourgeoisie'.

What is the name of the mountains between Spain and France?
- The Pyrenees
In Spanish they are called the Pirineos. In French, they are the Pyrénées. We know them as the place those fluffy white dogs come from. The Pyrenees mountains extend from the Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean Sea, a distance that runs about 270 miles. We think it's pretty important that the American people know a little bit about these mountains, especially those in Township, Minnesota. They just elected a Great Pyrenees as their mayor!

text: We consider a hypercube view to perceive the label space of multilabel classification problems geometrically. The view allows us not only to unify many existing multilabel classification approaches but also design a novel algorithm, principal label space transformation (PLST), that captures key correlations between labels before learning. The simple and efficient PLST relies on only singular value decomposition as the key step. We derive the theoretical guarantee of PLST and evaluate its empirical performance using real-world data sets. Experimental results demonstrate that PLST is faster than the traditional binary relevance approach and is superior to the modern compressive sensing approach in terms of both accuracy and efficiency.

Background: Reduction mammaplasty is a frequently performed plastic surgical procedure, yet preoperative assessment usually excludes an estimated resection weight. In this retrospective study, a formula was derived using regression analysis of routinely measured preoperative anthropomorphic measurements and intraoperative resection weights.
Methods: Data were collected from 214 consecutive breast reduction patients operated on at a tertiary referral center between January of 1993 and January of 2006. The operations were performed by 15 plastic surgeons using a variety of reduction pattern techniques. Four variables were recorded for each patient: notch to nipple distance, nipple to inframammary crease distance, body mass index, and age. Regression analysis was performed on the data to establish which preoperative measurements correlated most accurately with the resection weight.
Results: The following formula was established relating nipple to inframammary crease distance and notch to nipple distance measurement to the weight removed: Breast weight = (35.4 × notch to nipple distance + 60.66 × nipple to inframammary crease distance) – 1239.64.
Conclusion: Use of this formula aids the surgeon with patient counseling, insurance company quotes, and intraoperatively in patients with asymmetry or those undergoing reconstruction, as a guide to resection weights.

Rating: 0.00/5 (0 votes cast)
- Title Animation of high-resolution infrared images of Earth
- Released 29/04/2005 3:02 pm
- Copyright ESA
After closest approach to Earth, Rosetta's VIRTIS took a series of high-resolution images of our planet in visible and infrared light from a distance of 250 000 kilometres and with a resolution of 62 kilometres per pixel. The images are shown as they were acquired, without rotating them. The North Pole is on the left of the image. This animation was produced using infrared images taken in the so-called 'thermal' infrared wavelengths, which catches the heat emitted from Earth's surface. This is independent on solar illumination so, even if only half of Earth was illuminated by the Sun, VIRTIS could still se the full Earth disk. The animation shows the complex dynamics of Earth's atmosphere.

Clojure Goodness: Counting Frequency Of Items In A Collection
If we want to know how often an item is part of a collection we can use the frequencies function. This function returns a map where each entry has the item as key and the number of times it appears in the list as value.
In the following example Clojure code we use the frequencies function:
(ns mrhaki.core.frequencies
 (:require [clojure.test :refer [are is]]))
(def sample "Clojure is cool!")
(is (= {\space 2 \! 1 \C 1 \c 1 \e 1 \i 1 \j 1 \l 2 \o 3 \r 1 \s 1 \u 1}
 (frequencies sample))
 "Frequency of each character in sample")
(def list ["Clojure" "Groovy" "Cool" "Goodness"])
(is (= {\C 2 \G 2}
 (frequencies (map first list)))
 "Two words start with C and two with G")
(def numbers '(29 31 42 12 8 73 46))
(defn even-or-odd
 "Return string even when number is even,
 otherwise return string odd."
 [n]
 (if (even? n)
 "even"
 "odd"))
(is (= {"odd" 3 "even" 4}
 (frequencies (map even-or-odd numbers)))
 "list numbers has 3 odd and 4 even numbers")
(def user {:user "mrhaki" :city "Tilburg" :age 46})
(is (= {java.lang.String 2 java.lang.Long 1}
 (frequencies (map type (vals user))))
 "user map has two values of type String and 1 of type Long")

Sprite vs Coke: What's the Difference?
Sprite vs Coke
Both Sprite and Coke are owned by The Coca-Cola Company.
Coke was created by a pharmacist in Atlanta, Georgia named Dr. John S. Pemberton and was first introduced in 1886. Businessman, Asa Candler, purchased the Coke recipe from Pemberton in 1888 and a few years later started The Coca-Cola Company. Coke is currently the best-selling soda in the world and has been so for many decades.
Sprite is a much younger brand of soda compared to Coke. It wasn't until 1959 that Sprite was first produced in West Germany as Clear Lemon Fanta. When the beverage was launched in the United States in 1961 it was manufactured under the name Sprite.
Coca-Cola (Coke) – Carbonated Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Caramel Color, Phosphoric Acid, Natural Flavors, Caffeine.
Most people are aware that Sprite is a lemon-lime soda and Coke is a cola. Naturally, they have different ingredients based on the type of sodas they are. While the ingredients for both products are listed above, they are not specific with the complete formulas used by The Coca-Cola Company.
For example, one theory is that Coke's flavoring comes from coca leaf extract (stripped of cocaine), citric acid, caffeine, sugar, water, lime juice, vanilla, caramel, alcohol, orange oil, lemon oil, nutmeg oil, coriander, neroli and cinnamon [source]. Of course, Sprite is citrus based and is at least partly flavored by the citric acid ingredient. Like Coke, its true formula is an unknown.
Sprite is a caffeine-free beverage. However, if you look at the ingredients of Coke listed above, you will notice caffeine as an ingredient. The caffeine in Coke is low in comparison to coffee and many energy drinks. It has 34 milligrams in a 12 fluid ounce serving. As a reference, a brewed coffee has approximately 144 milligrams of caffeine and a Red Bull has 114 milligrams of caffeine per 12 fluid ounces.

Nutrition Facts
Let's take a look at the nutrition facts of Sprite vs Coke. Specifically, is one "healthier" than the other in regard to the nutrition data such as calories and sugar.
Both have 140 calories, and no fat or protein. Sprite has 20 milligrams more sodium, but one gram less sugar and carbs. Overall, most people won't opt for one soda over the other simple for better nutrition. The caffeine content (or lack thereof) is likely a bigger factor than the difference in nutrition between Sprite vs Coke.

Many tobaccos that Whole Leaf Tobacco sells can be prepared for Shisha/Hookah use with minimal effort.
First off – the difference between the word Shisha and Hookah need not be a mystery. Some websites will tell you that Hookah is the glass pipe, and Shisha is the tobacco that goes inside, but that is incorrect. The difference is the origin of the word. Hookah is the Hindi word for Water Pipe, while Shisha, which means Glass in Persian, is the commonly used phrase in the Arabic world. Use it interchangeably. We won't tell!
Preparing Whole Leaf Tobacco as Shisha for Hookah or Hookah for your Shisha
 1. Remove the mid-rib from your tobacco and shred it.
 2. Wash your tobacco to remove some of the harsh tobacco flavor.
 3. Mix it with honey or molasses and bake on low heat (150 degrees F) for about an hour and a half.
 4. Add glycerin, and liquid extracts to give your Shisha tobacco a nice flavor.
 5. Let sit and soak for at least 24 hours.
Your tobacco is then ready for use in the glass vessel, tube and pipehowever you want to label it!

The same works for the WebStudio interface.
Also you can query any date column parts like this :
var result = rdb.Query(x => x.Date.Year == 2016 && x.Date.Month == 8); var result = rdb.Query(x => x.Date.Hour < 10);

var result = rdb.Query(x => x.Serial.In(1,3,5,7)); var result = rdb.Query(x => x.Serial.In(new int[] { 1,3,5,7 })); var arr = new int[] {1,3,5,7}; var result = rdb.Query(x => x.Serial.In(arr)); var result = rdb.Query(x => x.Date.Year.In(2000, 2010)); var result = rdb.Query("salesinvoice", "serial.in(1,3,5,7)");
Also Between() has been extended to work with date parts :
var result = rdb.Query(x => x.Date.Hour.Between(12, 15);

This Is Why Soda Tastes Better in Glass Bottles
Awesome! Share to:
Have you ever wondered why soda seems more delicious when it comes in a glass bottle? Most people will agree that sodas in different packaging—whether it's from the same brand—taste different. And no matter how the Coca-Cola company says that the taste is the same regardless of the packaging it comes in, consumers will always disagree.
Fortunately, science has an explanation for this long-debated question.
Why is soda better in glass bottles

Table of Contents
The Science Behind Soda in Glass Bottles
The real reason why soda tastes better in a glass bottle is because of the chemicals in aluminum cans and plastic bottles that alter its flavor.
Sara Risch, a food chemist who works with food and packaging companies, explains the science behind this. "While packaging and food companies work to prevent any interactions, they can occur."
She's pertaining to the Bisphenol-A (BPA), a polymer that is present in aluminum can liners. Worry not—the BPA present in soda cans is not enough to cause harm to your body no matter how many cans of soda you guzzle per day. However, when BPA absorbs small quantities of soluble flavor from the soda, it can alter its taste.

Another culprit is acetaldehyde, a chemical used to manufacture plastic bottles. When it reacts with soda, trace amounts of acetaldehyde could transfer to the drink. This gives it that noticeable 'plastic-y' taste. And while plastic packaging is regulated by the FDA to ensure that it's safe to drink, the soda's taste can still be affected.
Additionally, plastic is much more permeable to carbon dioxide compared to glass or aluminum. This means that the fizz will leak out of a plastic bottle faster, making it taste flat after a few weeks of storage.
The best and safest way to enjoy your soda is still by soda glass bottles. Glass is the most inert (less chemically reactive) material for soda packaging. This means that there is little to no chemicals in glass bottles that can change the taste of soda.
However, we still need to consider environmental factors. Even if the soda comes in a glass bottle, exposure to sunlight and temperature can still affect its taste.
Comparing Glass vs Plastic vs Aluminum
Aside from affecting the soda's flavor, its packaging can also make a huge difference in terms of production, transport, and sustainability. Let's compare the three soda packaging materials, then see which one is the most ideal.
Glass bottle vs plastic vs aluminum can

Production
Glass Bottle: It is made of liquified sand, which is the result of heating sand (silicon dioxide) until it turns into liquid. New glass bottles can also be made from recycled glass. The only disadvantageous effect of glassmaking is that it requires tons of fuel for melting sand. This produces a lot of carbon dioxide which is released into the atmosphere.
Aluminum Can: Aluminum cans are made from bauxite, a rock that contains alumina, silica, and titanium dioxide. Mining bauxite requires digging a large pit to extract the ores, which damages the environment. Making aluminum cans is also resource-intensive and produces toxic gases into the air.
Plastic Bottle: Plastic bottles may be a cheap option for soda packaging, but the cost of manufacturing them is our environmental welfare. It needs crude oil, which is obtained by drilling into the earth. It is then transported to a refinery to be distilled. Afterward, different types of plastic are created by manipulating polymers.

Transport
Glass Bottle: Since glass is heavy and fragile, it's quite difficult to transport between plants and factories.
Aluminum Can: Cans are small, lightweight, and can be packed tightly.
Plastic Bottle: Like aluminum cans, plastic bottles are also lightweight and can be packed together tightly.

Sustainability
Glass Bottle: The best thing about glass bottles is that they are completely recyclable. Even if they get broken, old glass pieces can still be turned into new ones (just be extra careful when disposing or packing them). That's why many soda companies use glass bottles since they can sterilize and reuse them. It's the most sustainable soda packaging among the three.
Aluminum Can: Aluminum cans are also recyclable, but only 49.8% of aluminum cans are recycled by consumers per year. The good thing about it is that it can be recycled unlimited times.
Plastic Bottles: It might be the most convenient packaging material, but it's also the most unsustainable. Only 6% of plastics are recycled each year; the rest of it is dumped into oceans and landfills.

Why Soda Glass Bottles Are the Best Option?
If you're a beverage producer, then it's clear that glass bottles are the best packaging option for your drinks. First, glass bottles won't affect the taste of soda. They don't have chemicals that can leach into the drink and alter your drink's signature taste.
Glass bottles are also easier to clean and reuse. You can collect your empty soda bottles from the consumers, sterilize them, and reuse them for the next batch of sodas. It can cut back your packaging costs significantly.

Additionally, glass is much more environment-friendly. A huge portion of plastics are thrown away and are currently polluting our oceans. Since glass is easier to recycle, it reduces your carbon footprint as a company.
Lastly, glass bottles are more attractive and aesthetically pleasing. Soda definitely looks tastier and more flavorful in glass bottles. Plus, you can choose between embossing your logo on the bottle (giving it a vintage look) versus having it printed (making it look more modern).

How many small bales of hay are in a ton?
A ton: 2000# pounds of hay to the ton. A retail three string bale weighs 100 # there are 20 bales in a ton. A "feed store ton" can be 16 bales. A semi holds 24 tons on a truck.

The Safe 2 Race system was developed after we recognised the need for automating manual warnings and marshal systems during race events, to improve safety and response times. Our systems and hardware use wireless connections, artificial intelligence and unique algorithms to automate warnings and safety features to benefit circuits, race organisers, race control, marshals, drivers, teams and spectators. The S2R system updates every second on a range of interfaces and has various user functionality permissions.
Safe 2 Race System Key Functionality
The key functionality of the Safe2Race system for circuit, championships and driver use:
- Real time vehicle status awareness, tracking and timing vehicles for superior circuit and competition safety and compliance.
- Superior safety technology integrates vehicle to Race Control communications with instant notifications and automatic features.
- Instantly gives circuit and championship officials the information they need, whilst providing competitors and spectators real time race information – available on web and mobile interfaces.
- An electronic system with integrated AI designed to pair medical and impact data, offering currently unrivalled safety to competitors in Motorsport.
- Automated marshal flagging system benefits race marshals, race control and competitors.
- Instant in car notifications for drivers to notify of any change in race conditions, notification reaction within 1/10th second.
- Integrated systems for race control, team and spectator race timing information with a range of interface permissions.
- In-built penalty automation systems and post incident analysis.
- Tiers of access and custom permissions.
How It Works
The system tracks all vehicles locations each second, allowing flag conditions to be set within the entire circuit.
Safe2Race has been developed to combat the problems presented by human error and to provide safer racing conditions.
The system allows communication directly between every vehicle in a 'hot zone', pre-defined by race control.

Skill concentration.png Concentration (Constitution)
Allows you a chance to continue casting a spell after being damaged or otherwise interrupted. When you take damage you roll a D20 + your Concentration score against a difficulty class of 10 + one tenth of the damage received + the level of the spell you are trying to cast. This check occurs when either casting from spellpoints or using a scroll.
The Quicken metamagic eliminates the check when casting a spell from spellpoints while it is active, however, as scrolls cannot be quickened and Quicken costs spellpoints, the skill is still useful even with the Quicken metamagic.
Even if you succeed on the Concentration check, your spell can still be interrupted, for example if you are tripped or held.
This skill is also important for monks as their ability to retain Ki is tied to Concentration.

From the ancient Egyptians to modern times, naan and pita flatbreads have been a key source of carbohydrates. Pita breads date back more than 6000 years! Both of these traditional breads have evolved into new styles. These include pizzas and chapatis that keep people coming back for more. So what is the difference between naan and pita?
Naan vs pita: what are the differences?
Naan's origin is India, and it's common in south and west Asia, as well as the Caribbean. Pita originated in the middle east, yet is popular in eastern Mediterranean countries.
These two flatbreads, naan and pita are sometimes mistaken, but they're very different! Naan is thicker and more enriched making it softer. Pitas are a leaner flatbread that is ideal for stuffing with salads, falafel or kebab meat.
The 7 Things You're (Probably) Doing Wrong!
Improve Your Baking Skills With My Free Email CourseSign Up Here!
How are naans and pitas different?
The ingredients that go into the making of naan are:
Flour, water, yeast, milk, yogurt, oil or butter.
Often eggs, onion (nigella) seeds and Indian spices such as cumin are also included. After baking the naan is usually brushed with ghee. It's common for the flavour of naan breads to be enhanced with extra ingredients. Common combinations are:
- Garlic and coriander
- Keema (ground mutton, lamb and goat meat)
- Peshwari (sweetened coconut)
- Paneer Naan (Indian cheese)
Pita has way less ingredients in it. They consist of whole and white wheat flour, water, yeast and salt. Some producers include sugar and vegetable oil for flavour and to improve its shelf life.
Naan flatbread has a teardrop or oval shape. They are around 1-2 cm thick and have uneven pockets on the surface.
A Pita flatbread is more uniform. Its shape is more rounded, and when cut through the middle will open out into a pouch.
Both recipes are made using the same routine. They are mixed, kneaded and then left to rest for an hour or so. After the first rise they are divided into dough balls. The pitas will be flattened whereas naans will be left in ball shapes. After 30 minutes (or longer if left in the fridge), the breads are baked.
Naan is best cooked in a traditional clay or metal oven known as a tandoor. They origin from ancient Egyptian ovens. A tandoor will heat up around 480 degrees! The oven door is open so the baker slaps the round ball to the wall of the tandoor.
It can also be cooked at home using an iron skillet or a preheated baking stone placed under the grill.
When it comes to cooking Pita flatbread, a hot oven is used. They are baked at high temperatures for just a few minutes. This makes the dough pieces puff up. Once a slight browning appears on the crust the pitas are removed. As they cool they collapse into the flat bread we see in our stores.
How do they taste?
The addition of yoghurt, sugar and fat give naan breads a soft and more fluffy texture. Baking at a high heat for a short amount of time gives a soft crumb with a crust that's caramelized. Naan bread has more flavour as in most cases spices orextral flavourings are added.
This could be, because pita has been around a lot longer than naan, and that may explain the reason for the basic ingredients to it.
Pita has a dryer texture to it. The purpose of a pita bread is to hold the fillings and soak up juice. Pita breads are stronger, but don't really have a crumb. They are just crust on both sides with a hollow centre. They make a dish complete, but are not particularly exciting on their own.
Which one is easiest to make?
Pita bread tends to be easier to make, because it uses less ingredients. The cooking method doesn't require a special oven making the pita much easier to make.
What food to serve with a naan
Naan bread is usually eaten as an accompaniment to a curry. They also make a great mid-meal snack on their own. Although mainly found in India and Pakistan, it is likely to see naan breads with other cuisines.
- They can be eaten like a taco by dressing with chicken or lamb meat.
- Kids love them as a bed for grated cheese and a tomato sauce to turn it into a pizza.
- A chicken panini.
- Topped with cheese, potatoes, and eggs as a breakfast sandwich.
- I love them served with kebabs!
What food to eat with a pita
These can be filled with your preferred choice of sandwich ingredients or fillings. Or:
- Served with hummus or any kind of dipping sauce.
- Eaten as nachos.
- With kebab meat or falafel and salad
- Opening up the pita pocket, and packet with salad and your favourite salad dressing.
- Spread with peanut butter and filled with sliced up bananas, and apples.
- My son just likes grated cheese – poor guy…
What is healthier, Naan or Pita Bread?
When it comes to which one is healthier, it's a no brainer. Considering the ingredients that can go into the making of naan, pita is way more healthier than naan. It's lower in sugars, and it also has less fat, whereas naan is high in both fat and calories.
Naan vs Pita. Which one do I prefer?
It's a difficult one but I prefer naan breads to pita. They go great with two of my favourite dishes, kebab and tarka dhal. Delicious! I still like pita, but a naan offers just that little bit more. What is your favourite?

Victorian Women on Farms Gathering Collection
Image: Patch - Victorian Women on Farms Gathering, Warragul 1999
Source: Museum Victoria
Since 1990, Victorian rural women have met at annual events, Women on Farms Gatherings, to share common interests, exchange information, celebrate their contribution to their farms and communities, and support and nurture each other.
Each Gathering is linked by a tradition of sharing memories, symbolic icons, women's stories, workshops, rituals, farm tours, good food and fun. The meaning, identity and action expressed through these collective activities are often 'life changing' for participants and foster a deep sense of community.
These gatherings emerged as part of the 'rural women's movement' in Australia. This movement sought to raise the profile, opportunities and voice of rural women. The Victorian Gatherings were soon replicated in other states around Australia, and fed into the organisation of the world's first 'Women in Agriculture' conference held in Melbourne in 1994.
The Women on Farms Gathering Collection dates from the first Gathering held at Warragul in 1990 and covers the first 20 years up to 2009. The Women on Farms Gathering Collection is a community project involving the active participation of rural Victorian women in collecting, interpreting and sharing their histories.
A cow pat, mallee root and motherboard, are some of the 'icons' in the collection and offer a colourful and symbolic insight into the stories and experiences of rural women. These icons have been chosen by the organisers of each Gathering to symbolise and celebrate the leadership, unity, diversity and resilience of rural women. The collection also includes two large banners (one of which is used and altered at each Gathering), videos, photographs, a memorial plaque, memorabilia and a large collection of oral histories.
The collection has state and national significance. It highlights the diversity of rural women's experiences, documents the contribution of women to their farms and communities, the changing nature of agriculture and contemporary issues affecting the future of Victorian rural communities. The contemporary and collaborative nature of the collection has created important community links across rural and regional Victoria and has directly influenced the development of associated collections and research, including: toxic waste campaign, 2009 Victorian bushfires, water security, climate change, drought, sustainable agriculture, gender and demographic change.
The active involvement of rural women in the development of this contemporary collection has fostered new and exciting possibilities for museum practice and the history making process:
"...we are creating living history. This Heritage Project with Museum Victoria is the first time that the museum has ever attempted something like this, and to my knowledge it is one of the few things in a museum that I have ever seen, which hasn't had to die to be recognised, and I find that very refreshing." Ann Jarvis (Inaugural member of the Women on Farms Heritage Group, Kergunyah)
"Collecting, documenting and displaying these stories through the community partnership between Women on Farms Gathering Heritage Group and Museum Victoria is groundbreaking. It is a model for how institutions may reshape their role to work collaboratively with communities to better interpret and represent their place in Australian life." Kerry Wilson, Member of the Women on Farms Heritage Group, Violet Town)

A trailing drawdown is a drawdown that is pegged to your positive account performance. That means that if you increase your profit by $1.00, then your trailing drawdown will also rise by $1.00. All rules, including trailing, use closed and open equity intraday.
For example, in a $25,000.00 account your starting trailing drawdown is $23,500.00.
On your first trade as you make $100.00 in profit bringing your account balance to $25,100.00. This correspondingly raises your trailing drawdown to $23,600.00.
This continues until your trailing drawdown reaches the starting balance of your account, or in this case $25,000.00, at which point the drawdown will no longer trail above $25,000.00.
You can check your current maximum drawdown in R | Trader Pro's Trader Dashboard by looking at the Auto Liquidate Threshold Value column. It'll tell you exactly what balance your account is liquidated at.

Dynamic matrix control with input saturation constrained
It is proposed, in this paper a dynamic matrix control (DMC) with an anti-windup (AW) based on linear matrix inequalities (LMI). The DMC-AW control is applied in the ballbeam system, in which the main purpose is to control the ball position on a rotating beam. System modeling was performed, which presented two degrees of freedom. For the mechanical system implementation a microcontroller, an ultrasonic sensor, and a servo motor were used. The proposed control was implemented both numerically with the software MATLAB and with the microcontroller ATmega328Pu. The simulation results validated the eciency of the proposed DMC-AW and showed that the approach improves the response of the system under input saturation.

CFD investigation on wheel rotation modelling
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2018
It is well understood in the automotive community that wheels are a major contributor to the aerodynamic drag of passenger vehicles. The flow around rotating wheels is very complex due to the many separation regions created by very small tyre features and by the contact area of the tyre with the ground. Correct modelling of wheel rotation requires accuracy in the representation of the tyre geometry and proper boundary conditions to simulate the rotation. This paper proposes a hybrid approach for simulating tyre rotation which is simple to implement and does not suffer from the limitations of a sliding mesh approach, at the region where the tyre meets the ground. The method is first evaluated on a single wheel that is free standing and the results are compared to a full sliding mesh computation, which is considered to be the best possible numerical solution. The technique is then implemented on a complete vehicle model simulation and the results are compared against wind tunnel force measurements. The good agreement obtained in these test cases shows that the proposed approach is a promising solution to a more accurate numerical simulation of rotating wheels.

DOMESTIC WATER CONSUMPTION IN LATVIA / Hushållsvattenförbrukning i Lettland
In recent years, reconstructing municipal water distribution systems and optimizing their operate conditions have become important tasks in Latvia. Such work requires knowledge of the water balance within water distribution systems to make further decisions. Recorded statistics indicate high domestic water consumption per capita while consumers complain of frequent water shortages at their taps. Different sites within water dis-
tribution systems were examined. The results of statistical recorded data analysis and additional measurements support the hypothesis that recorded domestic water consumption includes a high percentage of water losses.

Home Fruits & Vegetables Is Elderberry Tincture Bad for COVID-19? Nature's lnfluenza Vaccine
Is Elderberry Tincture Bad for COVID-19? Nature's lnfluenza Vaccine
by Andreea Laza
Recent research place elderberry tincture (Sambucus nigra L.) in the forefront of the strongest immune system boosters.
Did you know that these simple black berries are a major competitor for mainstream influenza and flu vaccines?
It is true. Perhaps this is the reason why, there's been a lot of internet rumors lately stating that elderberry tincture can be harmful against the coronavirus, or COVID-19.
We have written an article about ways to protect against and prevent coronavirus infections COVID-19, that you can check below.
👉 3 Natural Ways to Prevent Coronavirus COVID-19 Infection
Is Elderberry Tincture Bad for COVID-19?
But is elderberry tincture actually dangerous to use to prevent the coronavirus (COVID-19) infection? The claim is that elderberry tincture (as well as NSAIDs: Ibuprofen, Motrin, Aleve, Naproxyn, etc) overstimulates the production of cytokines. This creates a so-called cytokine storm, that may actually aggravated the symptoms, because COVID19 causes respiratory failure via a cytokine response/release.
What are cytokines?
They are signaling molecules produces by the immune system. These cells that have the ability to activate the immune system against pathogens. According to a 2011 study, elderberry tincture activates the immune system by increasing inflammatory cytokine production.
OK, but does this mean that elderberry tincture is actually bad for COVID-19?
We couldn't agree more with Donnie Yance, Clinical Master Herbalist. He explained in an extensive and thorough article why elderberry tincture is not bad for COVID-19. He states that herbs don't overstimulate the cytokines release, for most part, as synthetic drugs do. Also, he provides evidence for why elderberry tincture preparations can actually help relieve symptoms associated with SARS COVID-19.
We really recommend that you read his whole article of elderberry tincture for COVID-19 here.
It is a bit harsh to put together natural elderberry tincture extract with synthetic medication such as Ibuprofen. We all that synthetic drugs come with many side-effects. The reason is that herbs and herbal extracts are always more biological friendly to the human body. They come from nature and our bodies use them better.
The claim that elderberry tincture is bad for COVID-19 has not been backed yet by any studies. Hence, there is no evidence that taking elderberry tincture can worsen COVID-19. Allopathic medicine knows little or nothing about herbal remedies to make such bold claims.
Is Elderberry Tincture Bad for COVID-19? Nature's Antiviral Vaccine.
Elderberry Tincture, an Alternative for Influenza Vaccine?
Elderberry tincture can actually be a natural alternative to influenza vaccine. Let me explain why.
It seems that elderberry really has something special about it. The action of these berries is so far unique in the world. No other synthetic or natural medicine has yet reached such performances.
First-hand researchers around the world have been working for more than ten years on studies on elderberry tincture. These studies have gained an overwhelming importance, given humanity is increasingly threatened by a spectrum of life-threatening diseases such as AIDS, SARS, cancer and leukemia, etc.
They have shown that elderberry extract makes a great alternative to the latest generation antiviral drugs. Scientists claim that elderberry extract could inhibit the replication of 11 strains of the influenza virus and increase cytokines production. It is capable of neutralizing the most dangerous microbes and greatly increasing the natural defense of the body.
Elderberry tincture can also help cure and prevent the majority of degenerative diseases, including cancer, and prolong biological youth.
In a word, yes, a cure with elderberry extract or tincture can be a natural alternative to influenza vaccines. And also save one of the hazards related to the a heavy metals and other toxins loaded influenza vaccines.

How to Use Elderberry Tincture to Prevent Influenza and Viral Infections
The substances contained in the elderberries block the infection of the healthy cells by the influenza viruses. This simple tincture can stop the installation of disease, both in its early stages as well as the advanced ones.
For prevention against influenza viruses, including the coronavirus, the best time to follow an elderberry cure is during the autumn, when the berries are harvested. Given that we have elderberry tincture available all year round, this is not the case anymore.
Elderberry Tincture Prevention and Cure
During the influenza epidemics you can follow a 2 weeks cure with elderberry tincture to prevent getting sick.
 - 2-3 tablespoons of elderberry tincture per day, in a cup of water – for prevention.
 - 2-4 tablespoons of elderberry tincture per day, for 7-10 days in a row – if the flu is already installed.
The healing from influenza will be much faster. In addition, elderberry tincture diminishes symptoms related to influenza, including:

Elderberry Tincture Side Effects
Laxative Effect. Elderberry tincture should be used cautiously in large doses (over 2 tablespoons a day). The reason is that it has a strong laxative and purgative effect, and can accelerate the intestinal transit. Except for the cases in which you use elderberry tincture to lose weight or relieve constipation. In these cases, it is recommended to take 1 to 2 teaspoons of common lady's mantle powder (Alchemilla vulgaris) or oak bark powder (Quercus sp.) daily alongside the tincture, to keep the intestinal transit under control.
Diarrhea and Fermentation Colitis. Elderberry tinctures and juice should be used carefully by patients suffering from acute or chronic diarrhea, and fermentation colitis.
Sensitive Colon. People with a sensitive colon or frequently suffer from bloating should take certain spices with a carminative and anti-inflammatory bowel role: fennel seeds, cumin seeds, basil, mint alongside elderberry tincture.
Toxicity. Elderberries are very powerful as a remedy, and like any medicine ingested in too high a dose, it can give have some side effects. These side-effects include: vomiting, heartburn, inflammation of the throat, difficulty breathing. One can experiment these symptoms when having 200 grams of fresh elderberries/juice or 300 grams of elderberry tincture per day.

How To: Spot a Jaguar in the Wild
Although the chances of spotting a Jaguar in the wild are slim, many guides and guests have stories and pictures to prove that if you are very lucky, it can happen. Here are some things you can do to increase your odds of seeing the largest cat in the Amazon in its natural habitat.
 1. Take a trip to the Tambopata Research Center (TRC). While staying at Refugio Amazonas you only have a 2% chance of seeing a Jaguar and an even lesser 1% percent chance at Posada Amazonas, at TRC, your odds increase to 12%.
 2. Hop in a boat. The best place to spot a jaguar is the river bank. In the jungle they camouflage very well and can be nearly impossible to notice. Also, Jaguars prefer to river banks to rest and find their food which consists of capybara, deer, peccaries, turtles, caimans, birds, agouties, and fish.
 3. Be very quiet and stay still. Jaguars have binocular and color vision and a heightened sense of hearing. In most cases they are able to detect humans before we can spot them.
 4. Go looking during the day. The jaguar is active 60% of the day and unlike the the Puma and Ocelot, who only hunt at night, the Jaguar can look for food during the day.

How Car Crushers Work
 Auto | Auto Basics
Operating a Car Crusher
Operating a Car Crusher
The basic function of car crushers hasn't changed much since they were invented in the 1970s. Improvements in car crusher design focus on two areas: ease of use, and set-up and crushing speed. Older crushers needed more than one operator, and setting up and tearing down a portable crusher could take a lot of time. New crushers have automatic push-button set-up and can be easily run by a single operator. Faster crushers mean more cars crushed per minute, and the more efficient a crushing operation is, the more money the crusher's owner can make.
Once a car reaches the junkyard, it goes through several steps before finally being shredded to scrap metal.
 1. The car is stripped of all working parts. For example, a car may have a cracked engine block, but the transmission is fine. Salvage crews pull out the working parts for resale. A huge number of parts can be resold - body panels, carburetors, wheels and tires, suspension parts and entire engines can be refurbished and sold to do-it-yourselfers.
 2. Hazardous materials are removed. The battery is pulled out and chemicals in the air-conditioning system are drained. The gas tank is removed and drained (and resold if it's in good condition).
 3. The car is left in the junkyard until it's time to be crushed. It could be there for a few hours or even a few months, depending on how big the backlog of cars that need to be crushed is.
 4. The operator drives the crusher to the junkyard and sets it up (if it's a portable crusher).
 5. Cars are loaded onto the crushing bed with a forklift, an excavator with a huge claw on the end or a magnet. Some crushers have a crane with a lifting claw or magnet built into the crusher itself.
 6. The operator activates the hydraulics, crushing the cars as flat as possible. The crushed cars will take up less than half of the space they originally required, and in some cases as little as ten percent. How flat they get depends on the crusher and what kinds of cars are being crushed. Baler crushers can reduce a car to a brick of crushed metal that's about three and a half feet high, two feet wide and three to five feet long [Source: Al-jon].
 7. There may be an additional storage period before the cars are shipped to a shredder.
 8. The cars are loaded onto trucks or a train and shipped to a recycler where they will be shredded down to chunks of scrap metal. Often, the stripping and salvaging steps above are skipped - whole cars, tires and all, are fed into the crusher, and then shipped to the shredder where the shredded chunks themselves are sorted.
Granutech's Big MAC portable crusher needs about 45 seconds per car, and can crush four or five cars at a time. Overbuilt's Model 10 crusher is built with a higher clearance on the bed, allowing trucks and buses to be crushed, or six cars at one time. A special hydraulic system that allows rapid transfer of hydraulic fluid increases overall crushing speed [Source: American Recycler].

the mass of cylinder one is 1.35 times the mass of cylinder two, and the volume of cylinder one is 0.792 times the volume of cylinder two. If the density of cylinder one is 2.70 g/cm3 what is the density of cylinder two?
THIS QUESTION HAS ME GOING CRAZY!!
density is mass/volume.
So, twice the mass, twice the density.
twice the volume, half the density. So, for cylinder 2, we have
(1/1.35) / (1/.792) * 2.70 = 1.584
d1 = m1/v2 = 2.70 g/cc
m1 = 1.35*m2 so
m2 = m1/1.35
V1 = 0.792*v2 so
v2 = v1/0.792
d2 = m2/v2
d2 = (m1/1.35)/( v1/0.792)
d2 = m1/1.35 x 0.792/v1 but
m1/v1 = 2.70
then d2 = 2.70 x (0.792/1.35) =?

National Day is here! And other than looking forward to an extended weekend, we teens can also expect to hear this year's National Day theme song played again and again over the airwaves.
There is just one problem – the song itself.
So what exactly does an NDP song need in order to score with us youth?
Three things: Fast-paced, catchy music, meaningful lyrics, and how much it touches our hearts.
A good example of such a song is Reach Out For The Skies, the 2005 theme song sung by Taufik Batisah and Rui En, the year I watched the NDP Preview live.
As the song was performed, the sea of students and other spectators was swaying so enthusiastically, I thought they were ready to jump out of their seats and do a song and dance number themselves.
The words to the song were simple, yet conveyed a strong message to Singaporeans to do the best they can and make their nation proud.

This paper examines through Marianne Hirsch's theory of postmemory and trauma two performance texts by Aboriginal Australian playwright and theatre director Wesley Enoch. This critical theoretical approach argues that in the absence of reliable historical records, the autobiographical structure of Black Medea (2007) and The 7 Stages of Grieving (1996) positions them as individual as well as collective postmemory and trauma accounts. The paper further argues that the use of silence, gestures, storytelling, and theatre serve as vital tools for documenting the generational continuum of the traumatic Aborigine experiences and the struggle in dealing with the inherited burden of intergenerational trauma.

Test if two date ranges overlap in Ruby or Rails

A check if two date or time ranges A and B overlap needs to cover a lot of cases:

Rails Long Term Support
Rails LTS provides security patches for old versions of Ruby on Rails (2.3, 3.2, 4.2 and 5.2)
 - Prevents you from data breaches and liability risks
 - Upgrade at your own pace
 - Works with modern Rubies
Read more Show archive.org snapshot
1. A partially overlaps B
2. A surrounds B
3. B surrounds A
4. A occurs entirely after B
5. B occurs entirely after A
This means you actually have to check that:
 - neither does A occur entirely after B (meaning A.start > B.end)
 - nor does B occur entirely after A (meaning B.start > A.end)
Flipping this, A and B overlap iff A.start <= B.end && B.start <= A.end
The code below shows how to implement this in Ruby on Rails. The example is a class Interval, which has two attributes #start_date and #end_date. These dates are considered inclusive, meaning that if one interval ends on the day another interval starts, we consider those two intervals overlapping.
Note how we implemented both a version for loaded Ruby objects (Interval#overlaps?) and a scope that returns all overlapping intervals (Interval.overlapping). Depending on your problem you might need one or both or those.
class Interval < ActiveRecord::Base
 validates_presence_of :start_date, :end_date
 # Check if a given interval overlaps this interval
 def overlaps?(other)
 start_date <= other.end_date && other.start_date <= end_date
 end
 # Return a scope for all interval overlapping the given interval, excluding the given interval itself
 scope :overlapping, -> { |interval|
 where("id <> ? AND start_date <= ? AND ? <= end_date", interval.id, interval.end_date, interval.start_date)
 }
end
This assumes that start_date <= end_date is always true.
Mixing dates and times
If you mix dates and times incomparisons, mind to not compare datetimes with date ranges in MySQL.

A Quick Guide to Running X11 Apps on WSL2
In WSL1, all you had to do was install an X server and you could run X11 apps normally. But in WSL2, it gets a bit harder. It runs in a VM instead of being run as a compatibility layer.
Starting VcXsrv
First, start up VcXsrv (or whatever X server you use). Make sure to turn off access control to allow WSL to access it without being blocked, and make sure it runs on 0.0.0.0 to ensure that it's possible to access it outside of the current computer.
Setting environment variables
Since WSL is running in a VM, it can't directly connect to localhost; it has to connect to the IP address.
Here is a script (albeit lengthy) to set the $DISPLAY variable by grabbing the IP address by invoking powershell, cutting off the last character (a carriage return), and appending :0.0 to the IP:
export DISPLAY=$(/mnt/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowershell/v1.0/powershell.exe -Command '(Get-NetIPAddress -AddressFamily IPv4 | Where-Object {$_.AddressState -eq "Preferred" -and ($_.InterfaceAlias -eq "Wi-Fi" -or $_.InterfaceAlias -eq "Ethernet")}).IPAddress' | sed 's/.$//'):0.0
We also need to make sure that OpenGL tells the X server to draw graphics and doesn't try to directly access the hardware.
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
Here is a Github Gist containing a shell script that does this for you.
Running apps
There are no special instructions for running apps, just run them like you would in a regular Linux system.

There are multiple sources:
 - Population - you simply divide the population by the average life expectancy and then multiply by 20
 - Tourists - you assume that every 5th person you see in Dubai is a tourist and out of them x% are 0-20

Anonymous A on Jan 30, 2020
Thank you, Vlad! In the case of the UAE where the population is significantly young, assuming an equal age distribution won't work. How would you change your approach?
Udayan on Feb 13, 2020
That is relevant information - just adjust with what you think is most reasonable. For example distribute population 0-20 as being 30% of the population vs 25% if you take a life expectancy of 80
updated an answer on Jan 27, 2020
The structure mentioned in the previous answer is a good approach for most of the cities/countries. However, for hot tourist destinations like Dubai, one needs to consider the number of tourists that visit that particular city/country in a year.
On average, Dubai gets 12 million tourists (nearly four times the population of Dubai). If you use the similar approach and add that number to the one mentioned in the other answer, you arrive at the approximate number. Feel free to change assumptions regarding age distribution and life expectancy of tourists (Wouldn't change by more than 10-15% anyway).

Anonymous B replied on Jan 27, 2020
For this, I would lay the structure and assumption down as follows
# of people aged between 0-20 = (Total Population of Dubai / Avg. life span of the local population or the world) * # of years (0-20)
Key assumption, people distribution of ages are even across the board. Stating, that there are the same number of people at every 1 year.
# of people aged between 0-20 = ( (assumed) 3.5M / (assumed) 75 ) * 20
= 0.93M
Note, for this market sizing you should be aware of what the population of Dubai is, or approximate of it. Also 75-80 years is the average lifespan globally, this can vary by region.

Selecting an anchor link with content, such as test link, I can see three different ways to do it using XPath:
a[text()="test link"]
a[.="test link"]
a[contains(text(), "test link")]
What are the differences between the three? The last option appears that it would take longer by virtue of it being an extension of the first.

You can find an Xpath specification here. Your first xpath matches an anchor that contains exactly the string "test link". The last xpath matches an anchor whose contents includes the substring "test link". No doubt it is slower, but the depending on the circumstances, the performance difference may be insignificant.
As far as I can tell, the first and second xpaths are equivalent.

Why Did Jesus Say He Came to Bring a Sword?
by Greg Boyd, originally posted at his website ReKnew.
Some, both modern scholars along with church leaders since the fourth century, have used this passage as evidence to argue that Jesus is not altogether non-violent.
When we place Matthew 10:34 in its broader context, it becomes clear that Jesus' teaching not only does not condone violence on the part of his disciples, it actually rules out all violence. As Jesus is preparing his disciples to proclaim the Good News of the arrival of the kingdom of God throughout the region, he warns them that he is sending them out "like sheep among wolves" (Mt 10:16, cf. vv. 5-15).

UE 4.25.3 + FMOD 2.01.04
Distance set in event in FMOD Studio is about 30 times larger then in game.
For example in FMOD Studio setting attenuation distance to 12.7 makes it work in game on distance close to 387. Like on attached image:
What can we do to use same values in both?
Have a great day
Are you able to describe the setup you used to measure and report the distance on the UE4 side?
Are you using FMOD::System::set3DSettings to change the distance scale in FMOD?
I suspect this is probably a confusion about the units used for measuring distances.
FMOD Studio uses a system where 1 unit is 1 meter, UE4 uses uu ("Unreal Units") where 1 uu is 1 centimeter. Our integration converts UE4 position vectors from centimeters to meters by dividing the position vector's components by 100.
So if the distance between the listener and an FMOD event is calculated in UE4 then we expect the value to be 100 times larger than the numeric value of an automatic distance parameter on the FMOD event.
The distance measured in UE4 being 30 times the FMOD distance could be explained if there is a scale factor on the value being displayed in UE4 or if the distance scale in FMOD has been changed.
Glad to see this is solved now, I wonder if you could explain any further? No pressure but if you can then it might prove very useful for future users with similar issues who happen on this topic
We were measuring distance not from listener but from object to which listener is attached. That was causing odd value.
